Leave voters can be divided into two groups: Fools, and plain old racist shitstains. That's putting it as nicely as I can.

I might be a bit off with this, but I don't think what the Leave voters in this thread are experiencing is on the same level.
who would win? Quest or Farage?

I know that Trump has applauded the UK for courageously breaking free from the shackles they chose to wear and could take off at any time, but isn't Trump's position that he's the best negotiator in the world and that he'll use every trick in the book to tilt trade deals demonstrably in the US's favor?
How is that better than Obama, who has been actively working with the EU on a trade deal that many of his own constituents are skeptical/fearful of?

Is that a thing? Far more soothing for my mind to think they're bots instead of thousands of actual people who think like that.

I'm reasonably certain he'd snap Farage in half within 30 seconds.
...to much cheering.
"Freedom has no price."
Farage doesn't give a damn about the people that will suffer as a result of leaving the EU.
Don't have time just now to listen from beginning to end, but from a quick scan they seemed to be talking about informal talks direct with Member States, rather than through the EU mechanisms.
That's fine and all, but no chance that gets to a level which would justify another referendum.

We all knew "Revenge of the Nerds" wouldn't last forever, we've had a good run these last few decades but now it's back to "Jocks Rule, Nerds Drool!"
Click on any of the names and they are mostly fully established profiles.
My money is on real people here.

I disagree. They simply need to stop giving him a platform. As I said earlier, we don't give a platform to others who practice hate speech. He should be treated no differently.
Nah man, someone being told they're an idiot over the internet is exactly the same as vandalism and violent abuse.
Goddammit, US! You're Trump is infectious! You really should get treated or it will effecting even more countries.
But seriously, something bad is happening in the world. All those Trump like characters show up in many countries, have all the same message and try to destroy the establish world with stupidity. This is getting very scary ...

These people always existed. Social media just gave them a voice to be heard.
We're living in times where people form their political opinion via facebook memes. Idiocracy really has arrived...
Social media was a mistake, it's nothing but trash.
Surprise, Surprise. Idiotic Right-Wing Idiot supports idiotic Right Wing Idiot.

We are 2 1/2 dumb ideas away from UK sending an expedition fleet to find some land to claim in the name of the queen again.
I genuinely believe that sickening headlines like this is why leave won.
The moment the Government and British public as a whole stopped seriously challenging the tabloids is the moment we let hate and paranoid fear breed within British culture.
Anyone know if press headlines like these are the norm in any other European country?
This is just blatant targeting.

I was just reading up on the guy (as an outsider to the UK I was never really familiar with him or UK politics in general, this thread introduced me to a lot of surprising unexpected things)... what the hell, this speaks volumes about the image the EU had in the UK. I can't think of anything else than self sabotaging.
It's not like you can live in UK longer than 3 months even under the current deal if you don't have a job.
You can't claim shit and will get deported if you don't find work within 3 months...that is fair and applies to all EU countries.
Nigel Farage is the 'acceptable' face of the far right in England. He deals in the lowest forms of nationalism, and constantly skirts outright racism.
Ok, I'll type while listening.
"No, I wasn't rude to the parliament, they're the ones who were rude to me, Schulz had to restore order twice"
Is this guy for real?
"I asked for all people to be grown up and act accordingly"
Do what I say, not what I do?
"They were rude to me, so I teased (sic) them, surely that won'T affect further negociations"
Yeah, sure.
"What makes Trump succesfull in the US is different than what makes me successfull in the UK"
NO IT ISN'T YOU TWIT, ffs just look at the reasons why people voted for leave.
"Our problem is immigration"
But sure, nothing like Trump
"Trump would be better than Obama for the UK"
Oh for the love of god.
"The UK political parties being in shambles is a great message"
What the fuck am I listening to?
"We took back or laws, our borders, or right to govern ourselves"
Oh god, please make UK take a Norway deal with him in the negotiation team at the end of the day, the irony would be through the roof.
He kinda made sense about the timing for Art.50, though one can argue against it.
"You need us far more than you need you"
Please, someone, take him on on that and let him explain in which way.
London (and with it the UK economy) is destroyed without the financial passport, that's a clear sign the UK is in the weaker position.
And while you'Re at it, also take him on his bullshit "EU is undemocratic" his always spews. Hell, it's an indirect democracy exactly like the UK (albeit without the paramount of democracy that is the royalty). Why hasn't anyone ever corrected him?
Sorry for the rant. There's nothing I hate more than demagogues.
Being caught wanking naked in Central Park does tend to keep you off the TV.

Also remember that this is just one paper out of many which have similar levels of direct racist targeting towards groups of society.
These papers also absolutely rip in to our opposition party's and never hold the Government to account for our turmoil.
They have far overstayed their welcome and it's about time we get a mass movement started to diminish the influence of these cunts.

The german BILD is infamous for it's headlines and their anti-Greece agenda during the crisis was shameful

Official: Average assets twice as high as in Germany, but government plans to help with billions again!"

I thought people taking tabloids seriously was a logical impossibility. Since when did trash journalism bordering on self parody gain nationwide credibility?
